“THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH!”

Romans 6:20-23                                              (ESV)

“20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of GOD, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

23 For “THE WAGES OF SIN” is death, but the FREE GIFT gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.”

With all of the COVID-19 hysteria that is being generated, it stands to reason that someone is going to develop a supposed cure and market it to the entire world and profit greatly!  The thing is, the supposed cure may have side effects that cause greater harm than the actual disease itself?  We don’t know?  Humans didn’t CREATE our bodies so we can’t say what is good and what will eventually cause BAD things to happen to our physical bodies!  

The amazing thing is that we have the SURE FIRE cure for the most dangerous virus known to mankind, and most of us won’t apply it!  The “WAGES (payment) OF SIN IS DEATH”!  There is no other way to cancel the debt for SIN.  Wages are a reconciling of what is owed by one party to another party.  ALL of mankind owes a debt to our CREATOR, and this debt is immensely more than we can dream of paying.  ALL of mankind is guilty.  Romans 3:10 explains “as it is written: "NONE is righteous, NO, NOT ONE;”!

Scientists, physicians, biotechnology and pharmacology experts, all wise in their own realm, spend their whole lives attempting to develop cures for diseases.  Some of these cures come with “side effects” that are deemed a necessary evil to extend our physical lives.  The only TRUE CURE for our eternal illness is JESUS!  The “WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH” and HE paid my debt on Calvary.  This is the only debt that has eternal consequences.  We need to get our EYES off of the temporary and begin looking at the eternal!
